Even though these artists might not have made an impact equal to that of The Who, The Small Faces or Love and the 13th Floor Elevators, they certainly were kindred spirits in a sonic sense. While there is nary a dud amongst the 26 tracks on this compilation, there are a few most exceptional works worthy of revisitation. Most notably are the Californians cover of Warren Zevon's "Follow Me" -- which he recorded with Tule Livingston under the guise of Lyme & Cybelle. This rendering is an inspired harpsichord-driven and tambourine tapping masterpiece and would have been the ultimate vehicle for The Monkees. "Red Sky At Night" -- not to be confused with a similarly titled song by the Fixx -- is among the heavier pieces on this volume. With the noir aura of King Crimson and ravaged fretwork reminiscent of Black Sabbath, The Accents unleash a track that pre-dates heavy metal by nearly two years.There are also a few early appearances from artists who would later go on to more notable things. If the song title "Baked Jam Roll In Your Eye" sounds extraordinary enough to have been a Rutles parody, the reality is that the band Timebox was a seminal stomping ground for both Pete "Ollie" Halsall(bass) and John Halsey (drums) -- who co-wrote the track. Despite the absurd name, this up-tempo performance contains a Halsey-led rhythm akin to something Dave Clark might have been able to pull off. The track "Shades Of Orange" was co-composed by Rolling Stone Bill Wyman during the brief period that he managed The End -- a project taken on at the urging of Stones producer Glyn Johns. Indeed, the song sounds steeped in the Stones Their Satanic Majesties Request, because, according to Dinnes Cruickshank's fascinating liner notes essay, it was worked up as the band was preparing that album. It has also appeared on numerous bootlegs as a ‘lost' Rolling Stones piece. Tragically, The Great British Psychedelic Trip series has been out of print since the mid ‘90s. A scouring of used CD bins has been known to produce copies, presumably picked over by consumers looking for top shelf and well-known artists.(Lindsay Planer, All Music Guide)
